Change permalinks by going to Settings → Permalinks and select “Custom Structure” write /%postname%/ inside the input field, there’s one problem though, some hosts handles these permalink settings differently, when the normal method does not work try to ad this index.php?/%postname%/ or else contact your host for help on this matter. Some hosts may have mod_security options enabled so you need to copy the given code when you save changes for Custom Structure and paste in the ".htaccess" in your wordpress root directory.

That's it for activating and installing wordpress theme and general settings.

02Installing the theme

Our themes uses TimThumb to resize the images.

TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on many hosting severs with PHP 4.3+ installed. Please set the cache folder permission to 777 if images are not showing after activating theme and setting slider. Still encountering problems with your images, then please visit tim thumb not working topic which was discussed on themeforest forum for help on solving the timthumb issue. If you don't want to use the timthumb then you need to use the appropriate sizes for the post thumbnails and slider images and disable the timthumb option from Energetic → Theme Options → General Tab.

!important Before you begin.

Don't look at the front-end of the theme until you finish all the steps and options saved in theme Options Panel.

After activating the theme go to theme options and click save changes first to load the default settings for the theme.

Just incase you get any error while activating theme, instead of posting on themeforest item comments section drop me an email from my themeforest profile page contact form for an instant support.

Once you download package from themeforest unzip the package. The following folders will be available.

Before you install the theme, make sure your wordpress version is 3.0 or higher. Then upload the latest version from folder "Themefiles" find the latest version as stated in the themeforest item description page, open the folder of the version you want to choose and copy the Liomagazine folder under that folder and upload it to your wordpress themes
directory:/wp-content/themes/ through your FTP Client. It should read like wp-content/themes/Liomagazine Not as wp-content/themes/1.0/Liomagazine/Do not upload the whole folder of the zip package you downloaded from themeforest.

After uploading to the server make sure you change the permission to 777 for cache folder, which is located in root folder of the theme.
